RBK40 Download Speed Slows Down After 5 Days
I have the RBK40 Router with two RBS20 satellites connected to my home wifi. I'm using it in router mode and not AP mode..Every 5 days my Internet speed drops from around 200mbps to around 40mbps..Th...
Hey guys just wanted to give a quick update on my situation. Today was the six day and my speeds dropped to around 40mbps again on the router only. I went in and cleared the logs but that did not help so I guess it's back to the drawing board. As of right now the only thing that will make my speeds go back to 200mbps is rebooting the system. The weird thing is that the satellites are not affected and anything attached to them continue to see speeds over 200mbps. I'm going to set the system up to email me the logs everyday so the logs will clear out each day and will never really get full and hopefully this will help.
Has the ethernet cable been swapped out between the modem and Orbi router?
When you are testing speeds, are you wired or wireless connected with a PC and testing with a browser at speedtest.net?
Yes the cable has been replaced twice but still no change. When I test I am testing wirelessly. I just rebooted the system and I'm now getting 217mbps wirelessly which is where it should be. Next time it slows down I will hardwire to the router to see if the speed is slow while hardwired in. I am testing on my PC using the speed test my internet provider uses, which is powered by Ookla.
